    Well, we have developed what you need at BioMOO.  It's called SMOC (Spam
    Manager Output Control).  It was developed for those who don't have and
    don't want to take the time to get a client. I'll be glad to send a file
    containing the necessary code to make it work - just send me an e-mail.
